Wicked is the latest market mover to be the Highest Grossing Movie of 2024
Betting remains available on what will be the Highest Grossing Film Worldwide in 2024 and there has been a big market mover with Wicked coming in from nowhere to 7/2 in the odds list.
Those odds put the movie as third favourite behind Despicable Me 4 and Deadpool 3 and the Ariana Grande film is expected to be a massive success in cinema this year.
Wicked is due for release at the end of the year with a November date currently pencilled in and it will be followed by a sequel in 2025 with both movies expected to be big at the Box Office.
Paddy Power's latest odds say there's a 22.2% chance that Wicked hits the top spot across the yearly Box Office figures, with BoxOfficeMojo supplying the figures.
Dune: Part Two currently leads the way at the Box Office in 2024 with the movie's current total earnings sitting at just over $235m.

|---|---|---|
| Despicable Me 4 | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Deadpool 3 | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Wicked | 7/2 | 22.2% |

What the expert says...
Despicable Me 4 remains the favourite to hit the top spot across this year
The latest movie in the Despicable Me franchise will be released in July this year and it's expected that the film will be a massive player in the Box Office figures.
Back in 2017, Despicable Me 3 was released and was a huge success at the Global Box Office with more than $1b earned worldwide.
Fast forward seven years later and the fourth film in the franchise is 5/4 favourite to be the Highest Grossing Movie of 2024.
